I personally want to see what HP will end up doing with web os and the tablet they have said they are working on for it. Palms webos seemed to handle multitasking a lot better then the android os. With any luck HP can make it into something good.

I know i know but 4.3" is pretty big plus you no longer have to support the apple regime.

Did you fail reading comprehension as a child? I'm looking for a tablet running Android (or a smaller iPad) something with a 7 inch screen. A droid does not fit the bill.

I'm running a jailbroken iPhone 4. I hate Apple but I do love their iPhone, just hate that they try to limit you and Android rules in that regard. However, I've managed to achieve much of what Android does via Cydia and the like. Besides, I'm under contract with AT&T. If I got a used Droid off say CL or eBay would the Droid still work without cell service over Wifi?

Iam guessing it would need to be rooted. I couldn't use my droidx till connected to verizon. Dell streak i think it is has a 5 inch screen and runs android. Not read much about it though.

No really good options yet. Its taking way too long for all the neat prototypes we saw at CES, (way back before the iPad was officially announced,) reach production. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is supposed to be out soon, so I'll recommend that as the cheap K-Mart one is barely good enough for reading email.

Hell you can't even get into your mail account!

It has some pure shit gmail interface to it.

I got the Augen 7 tablet for 150 when it came out. When I had access to the android app market it was great. I lost access after the first day and now have to track apps in the wild. This sucks.

Pros
It is easy to web surf and create short emails.
The wifi performance is adequate.
The OS is responsive and quick on the platform.
Cons
The screen reminds me of using a palm device. Some clicks are not noticed.
Sound quality is fair to poor.
The audio output jack is an odd size. I think it is 3.5 2.5mm. It will not work with standard headphones.
Support from the manufacturer sucks.
I don't think that any tablet without app market access is worth it.

I don't have an Iphone but my friends do. I like the screen size and os better than the Iphone.
I would not buy this unit again. If I had a droid phone it would be okay.

I have a 7" ePad with Android 1.7 and it makes me want to punch someone. I got it in exchange for some math tutoring and now I'm wishing I would have taken the money instead. It is slow, has a horrible screen, and has frequent errors.

I'd wait until the next generation
that's my new model for almost all tech
let the 1st gen stuff come out and people complain about the short comings and then when the second gen stuff out think about buying it

I'd stay away from anything WinCE related at least until after Windows Mobile 7 comes out. That's likely to have
a decent software architecture and they'll probably tie it into the XBox universe. But even then it's still
an unproven platform compared to Android or Apple.

I bought my DroidX from a 3rd party retailer and had it most of a day without activating it. I hooked it up to my wifi and was installing marketplace apps, etc. without having any cell service.

Correction to my post above. I rooted my ePad this morning and put Android 1.9_88 on it. It's actually usable now. I now have full access to the Android marketplace and it plays Youtube videos in 480p.It's not the fastest thing in the world but it works for just surfing around, email, and docs to go that I will need for work.
